For several days it had been quietly

night, in consequence of which the asy
lum was pretty we'll filled by good
natnred and expectant assemblage of the
Sir knights of Louisville COmmandery,
with sprinkling of visitors from De-

evening was the presentation to Past Emil

most elegant gold badge of the order,
handsomely enameled and engraved, and
encased in substantial satin-lined mo-
rocco case. Sir Tom Timberlake did the

Eminent Commander:
"BefOre proceeding with the election of
officers, l ask to make few remarks that
may prove of interest. The success OF
the Commandery during the past year
has indeed been a source of great gratiti-
cation, and, in order that our jubilee may
be properly signalized, we have determin-
ed to present testimonial to that Sir
Knight whom the Commandery delights
to honor" Simple, modest, sterling
friend piOus, humane, and magnani-
nous; he holds together in rare symetri'
cal union the whole circle of the virtues,
truly knight without fear and without
reprOach. Need l name him? Sir knight
John Franklin Lewis, to whom l now
have the pleasure of presenting this past
commanders jewel, in behalf of his
fraters of Louisville COmmandery. Sir
Knight Lewis, this is no ordinary cOmpli.
ment. and would that through the flimsy
drapery of my words, you could see the
beating of those hearts who in fraternal
love have so generously appreciated the
Knightly virtues for which you are dis
tinguished. Your untiring zeal, and your
consistent life have won fraternA COM
mendation, but flag not dear frater, and
may this jewel, the testimonial of our
love, be ever a reminded to you, that he
who bears the cross shall wear the CROWN"

Pearline a Cure for COrns

Editor Roundabout:
Thinking perhaps this simple rem
edy might help some poor suffering
mortal, send it to you. l am J..
walking example of its efficacy.
If cure for corns you want to know,
Into bowl of water dip your toe.
This is the way cured mine,
By sprinkling in some Pearline;

And turned around and went to bed;
In the morn, when put on my boot,
pulled my corn out by the root,
The pain bravely did endure,
And thereby effected lasting cure.

own, and if / know my own heart, hel
veal has been the incentive animating
every act of mine with reference to her
since first, by your indulgence, stood al
that door seeking admission among
'those valiant and magnanimous knights
whose well-earned fame has spread both
far and wide for acts of charity and deeds
of pure benefcence."
Beyond my highest Joy
I prize her heavenly ways,
Her sweet commission, solemn vows
Her hymns of Joy and praise.
For her my tears shall fall;
For her my prayers ascend;
To her my tolls and cares be given,
Til tolls and cares shall end.
Sir knights, having placed this beauti
full Jewel upon my breast, it shall ever be
my earnest prayer to the great Captain OF
our Salvation that He will so sire lgthen
me by His grace that l may wear il
through life untarnished by word or act
of mine; that the holy cause it represents
may never be made to blush for my I'M
wOrthiness, or you to feel the slightest
pang of regret for its bestOwal.
In the cross of Christ glory,
Towering DER the wrecks of time,
All the light of sacred story,
Gathers round its head sublime.
When the sun of bliss is beaming
Light and love upon my way,
From the cross the radiance streaming
Adds new lustre to the day.
| Bane and blessing pain and pleasure
By the cross are sanctitied;
Peace is there which knows no measure
Joys which through all time abide.
May each of us cling close to the cross
of Emmanuel and abide in him, that at
last we may receive an abundant entrance
into that eternal life and blessedness be-
yond the grave, which is in reserve for
those who love Him and wait for His com
ing.
Once more, Sir Knights, l thank you
from the depths of full heart of graft
tude. May God bless and keep you all
by His almighty power through faith unto
salvation.

were swimming in tears, and when he
stepped forward to receive the jewel his
voice was husky, and he trembled with the
emotions he could hardly find words to
express.
REPLY OF JNO. F. LEWIS.
Eminent Commander, Sir Knight 7iWbertake,
amt Sir KmgAts Of Louisville Commande,y,
No. L.
Language fails me to express the emo
lions which fill my heart, as awakened by
this manifestation of your kind feeling
toward one who painfully feels his own
unwOrthiness.
| There are times in our lives when such
an occasion as this so surprises and un-
mans us that the thoughts we would COM
mand take to themselves wings, and in
their absence all we can do is in very
feeble and imperfect manner to express
our gratitude by saying thank you all;
from the depths of my heart, thank you!
This evidence of your confidence and
| regard speaks to my heart in tones no hu-
man words could ever portray, and l es-
| TEEN and prize it because l believe it is
given more as an attestatiOn of your ap-
probation of my humble efforts in be-
half of our beloved cOnmandery than
on personal grounds, however tenderly
cherish the sentiments of personal re-
gard which prompted you in its bestOwal.
1t is my earnest, prayerful hope that
whatever may have been enabled by di-
vine grace to do for the furtherance of
the best interests of our beloved order,
may be sanctified to the honor and glory
of our blessed Lord and Master.
Sir Knights, we have each pledged our
s, cred honor to "Wield our swords in de-
Tense of innocent maidens, helpless or
phans, destitute widows and the Christian
religion. Are we by our daily walk and
conversation SO welding the potent
sword of our personal influence as to COM
mend the religion of our Lord Jesus
Christ to those about us, thereby demon
strating that we are not Christian Knights
in name merely, but in deed and in truth!
1t is my earnest prayer that each of you
so Hse the gospel of peace, exercising that
firm faith in the truths therein revealed
and cherishing that childlike trust and
confidence in the merits of a crucifed and
assembled Savior, that 'when your frail
bodies become cold and inanimate and
mOulder in sepulchral ruin, your disem-
bodied spirits may soar alOft to realms of
Ii q and light eternal, and enter into that
rest prepared from the foundation of the
world for all the faithful followers of the
Lamb"
Sir knights, tonight closes the eleventh
year of my service as an officer of this
cOmmandery, and l have striven con-
scientiOusly and faithfully to discharge
my duty in whatever position you assign
ed mellow well have succeeded you
must Judge. But I can say with a just
and pardOnable pride that in the heart of
no one of you burns warmer, tenderer
affect on for old No. l, than animates my

Let the Public Know.

An operation lately performed in this
city set me to thinking about that system
which keeps from the public facts about
great surgical performances. Here was a
man whose subclavian artery was cut as
a last desperate resort. The operation
was a great one, but the world heard
nothing of it. Now, l wondered if my
profession is not going too far in its con-
cealment. One of the blessedest things
in life is hope, and yet that is denied the
world in matters of disease, because the
public are not told of the great advance
ment in surgery and medicine. Only
once in while is the veil lifted for the
masses to look through the public press.
No line of human endeavor has shown
greater progress in the past twenty years
than surgery, and yet the world is just as
fearful as it was in 1860, for the simple
reason that it doesn't know what has
been done.-Physician in Globe-Demo-
crat,

The number of women employed in
definite occupations in England and
Wales was at the census Of 1881 3,4O3,-
91S. Of these 1,599,739 were employed
in various industries, constituting a little
over one-fourth of the industrial popula-
ton; GA, $40 were engaged in agriculture
and 1,545, 302 were domestic servants.
"a Woman" writing on this subject in
The Pail Mall Gazette says: Domestic
service is a perfectly womanly occupa-
ton, because it implies that complete
surrender Of liberty and that subordina-
ton to another's will which are the
brightest jewels of the female crown, but
even here woman's inferiority is duly
marked by lower wages, the butler being
more highly paid than the housekeeper,
the valet than the lady's maid, the chef
than the-why the word has not even a
feminine-we are obliged to say the
female cook. The remaining women who
are paid for their work are employed in
teaching, nursing, laundry and other
minor occupations. Outside these are
4,45S, 90S women who are 'unoccupied'
that is, unpaid-and of whom the
census report says that they are mostly
married and employed in domestic and
other work. AS these do not render SER
vice for pecuniary remuneration we are
not here concerned with them, save to
note that the women who gain their own
| livelihood number but 1, ZOO, 900 less than
their so called more fortunate sisters. "

Beaver Colonies in Norway.

Two beaver colonies have just been
discovered at Amid. near Christiansand,
Norway. On the bank of a river the
beavers have made lodges of branches of
trees, which are held together with clayey
mud, the whole resting on logs of wood.
The entrance, a hole, faces the river, but
is below the surface of the water. Round
the entrance there are numbers of aspen
and birch trees the bark of which has
served as food for the animals. The
beaver gnaws the tree about two feet
from the root, and if it finds the bark to
its taste cuts the tree up in pieces from
two to three feet in length, which the
animal then drags or carries down to its
house-proceedings which are fully de-
monstrated by the many 'log runs in the
woods along the river bank. Observers
have also noticed another remarkable
habit of this interesting animal, viz, that
on arriving by the water side with such a
load of wood it will poise the piece on the
back of its neck and swim with it right
into the lodge, where the bark is gnawed
off and slowed away for winter use This
accomplished, it will shoot the log into
the river. The largest trees the animals
have dealt with in this manner are eleven
inches in diameter. The colonies are
situated far from human dwellings, where
people only come in winter during the
timber telling season.

A Terrible Worm and Metaiivorous Moth.

Terrible Worm and Meta1tvOrous Moth.
Newspaper correspondents discover
wonderful things. Under the title Of
"London Gossip first class provincial
paper tells us that the greatest consterna-
ton prevailed some time ago among the
engineers employed on the railway at
Hagen in consequence of continual &C.
currences of accidents at the same place.
The German government directed an in
quiry, which, after the lapse of six
months, revealed the mystery. A rail
"was taken up and broken, and it was
perceived that it was literally followed
out by thin gray worm, to which the
qualification of railivorous was assigned,
and by which name it is to be classed in
natural history. The worm is said to be
about two centimeters in length and Of
the size of the prong of fork in circum-
ference" The narrative proceeds quite
seriously, describing the color of the
worm and two little glands on its head,
"filled with corrosive secretion, which is
elected every ten minutes upon the iron.
This liquid renders the iron soft and
spongy and of the color Of rust, and it is
then greedily devoured by the insect"
The authority of an official report and
of the French institute are given in sup
port of these and other statements, such
as that "this creature for its size is one
of the most voracious kind, for it has de-
voured thirty-six kilogrammes Of rail
(seventy-nine pounds) in a fortnight. y
The same veracious correspondent proceeds
to tell us that mot very long ago great
sensation was created by a report sent
into the Royal society of gnat or moth
which similarly devoured the lead of
London cisterns, and that the subject
will no doubt now be discussed with re-
doubled vigor since the discovery of the
railway pest" We are further told that
specimens of the iron thus attacked
have been sent to all the learned bodies
of London and Paris. The writer of
this veracious history must be greatly
disguised with the negligence of the sec
retaries and councils of the "learned bod
les" who have failed to publish in their
transactions any account of these Won
derful animals or to acknowledge the re-
ceipt of the specimens.-Gentleman's
